ASH GRENINJA NEEDS A KILL TO GET THE BOOST. OTHERWISE IT ACTS LIKE A TORRENT GRENINJA. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE PLAY IT LATER, WHEN ITS COUNTERS ARE GONE, AND THERE'S NO POKEMON THAT CAN WALL IT TO PREVENT TRANSFORMATION. USING IT AS A LEAD FOR HAZARD SETTING GIVES FREE TURNS TO SET UP AND EVEN SWEEP YOUR TEAM.

YOUR SUPPOSED TO PREDICT WHAT YOUR OPPONENT IS GOING TO DO, AND MAKE A MOVE TO CHANGE PROTEAN GRENINJA TO A RESISTANT TYPE. PROTEAN GRENINJA IS SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER THAN ONE HIT.

IF YOUR USING ASH GRENINJA AS A LEAD OR PROTEAN GRENINJA WITHOUT USING AN APPROPRIATE COVERAGE MOVE OF COURSE YOUR GOING TO NEED A SASH, BECAUSE GRENINJA IS COMMON ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE TO EQUIP COMMONPLACE COUNTERS.

Thank you.
